Psychoanalysts should not use countertransference

We continue with the topic of countertransference, with Leon Brenner reviewing Lacanian notion that psychoanalysts should not use countertransference in their clinical work.

Dr. Leon Brenner (Ph.D.) is a teacher and a scholar specializing in the fields of Lacanian psychoanalysis, contemporary French philosophy, and autism research. Brenner's new book on autistic subjectivity in Lacanian psychoanalytic thought will soon be published under the title: "The Autistic Subject: On the Threshold of Language" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020). Today, Brenner works on the subject of the philosophical anthropology of autism at the University of Potsdam. He is a founder of the Lacanian Affinities Berlin group (_la_LAB) and teaches courses on the subject of psychoanalysis at several institutions in Berlin.

Psychoanalysis should be free! From this motto, we're looking at making the insights of more than a century of psychoanalytic understanding available to anyone and everywhere.
